In a game set now, the story reaches the characters on a screen, and nobody believes the article. They believe the comments. This is a news page printed from the browser, with the comments still attached.
The site’s name and its sections across the top, the path to the story, a label such as Exclusive or Live, the headline, the standfirst, the byline and the “updated 14 min ago” line, the main photo with its caption and credit, the story itself, a pull quote, a column of related links, and underneath it all the comments: who wrote each one, when, how many people agreed, and which are replies. One comment can be marked as highlighted, which is where to put the one the players are meant to notice. The browser’s own print date and the page’s address sit in the margins, the way a real printout has them.
A sober news site with a serif headline and a quiet column of related links; a tabloid with a red masthead, capitals in the headline and a top comment in a yellow box; and a colony newsfeed on a dark screen, for a game set a few centuries from now. All three are A4 at 300 DPI, as a PNG or a PDF. The same story in print is the Newspaper, or a single article cut out of it is the Press Clipping.
